NCT ID NCT06729957
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a "Care Navigator" — a personal guide — can help people with substance use problems start and stay in treatment. About 360 adults who call a mental health access center will be randomly assigned to get usual care or extra help from a navigator. The goal is to see if more people complete at least three treatment visits within 48 days.
